Why is this a product? I could implement this myself in a weekend with a few open source libraries.
I use junk drawers, which scale to available drawers, after which you buy more storage or a larger house.

#93This implementation is O(n) on retrieval, rather than O(1) as in the ideal case. Hopefully v2 will optimize that in the near future.
I am a competitor of Shitbowl, and my product ("Shitdrawer") solves this issue!
Shitdrawer is the Amazon Glacier of Shitbowl. Easy to throw stuff in, generally it stays there very long term.

#94Why is the HN article title obscured with "*"? Does HN have a forbidden words policy?

#95Earlier quoted context omitted.
However, while it's true that your product is O(1) even in the worst case, when you look closer it's actually O(1) + O(1) even in the best case, as you have to open the Shitdrawer to even get the the most recently used item. Do you have any solution to this?
Shitfloor?
My kids already invented that. If you want theirs, come ask. Includes unlimited eye rolls and muttering.

#96And people laugh when I refer to the drawer next to the stove as an L1 cache!

#97This kind of sarcastic social critique well designed site reminds of better times for the Internet... before the dark times... before Facebook.
Oh no! The Internet is more easily accessible providing more knowledge and access to millions worldwide! It's not limited to our extremely exclusive clique of 1337 hackers who also all happen to be white, college-educated American men!
Well with its relentless commercialisation it also brought in loads of trash tier entertainment, splintered attention, intense bubblification and collective amnesia for a significant part of its userbase.
All the potential for good that made users so enthusiastic (as we now know: over-enthusiastic) about it until the early 00s (maybe 10s) still exist, it's just big tech and other businesses have hijacked the community-driven governance and narrative for private gains.
All the cool ((internet) cultural, but not necessarily technical) stuff that existed and exists... you'd never find out about it today if you weren't there and already know what to look for (and even then search result quality has gone down the drain due to massive spam. Not that you can reasonably filter search results to not include businesses or other SEO spam for instance...). Of course things that don't make money/grab attention eventually are "rationalised away" or forgotten about in this ungodly screaming contest.
Not all is bad; it's just the drop in average quality of substance and intransparency of its gatekeepers that worries me. I always keep my hope that a diverse array of communities continue to exist in which cool things happen on a regular basis. Mainstream social media is not this place though.

#100If I put a Docker container in it will it scale seamlessly?
The way it's designed, you want to ship a container of shitbowls, not a shitbowl of shipping containers.
